I can shift through gears but it doesn't engage I just hear a popping/grinding noise even with clutch pulled all the way in it doesn't make the noise in neutral the bike was running fine until one day I got on went to shift into second and it either slipped into neutral or I just missed the gear completely but now it won't engage any of the the gears acts as if something keeping the gear from meshing together as you can tell I'm not familiar with mc transmissions any help would be appreciated
So does it sound like a fork in a blender? If so it's your splines. If you need a final drive I have one for sale, then you'll just need to buy a driveshaft/coupler.
It's not as bad as a fork in a blender I'll start tearing it down today and post my results later if parts need to be replaced I will defiantly be back on here
Ok so I got it figured out and order another drive shift coupling and now I'm stuck again the splines on the gear assy final gear are worn and the part number for the entire assy is 13101a and is $800 I can't find a part number just for the spline part anyone who has come across this please let me know
yea, much cheaper to find a decent used drive and change the whole assy
on a side note, since I am about to do the same thing this weekend, and I plan on changing the entire drive shaft instead of just the coupling (got a nearly new one for a song), does the rear jug exhaust pipe have to come off to pull the front bevel assy? Or will it clear it?
I ended up taking it off. I broke down the entire rear end to get all the way to the u joint.
